Responding to Matthew Parris: is euthanasia to be encouraged?

One of the concerns many of us have raised over the years is that legalised euthanasia (or assisted dying as it is now commonly described) would lead to increased pressure on vulnerable people to end their lives.  

We were laughed at for this and accused of relying on a 'slippery slope argument.' 'Don’t be silly', we were told. 'This is just about giving the right to a good death to those who wish to take it up.'

Dave Williams reminds us of some uncomfortable facts about the evangelical church

‘The UK is a mission field and the church needs to step out of maintenance mode and into mission mode.’

Dear Sir,

I think it’s a good thing that there’s an ongoing conversation about church planting into our unreached areas via your letters page. I know that, from time to time, en puts the spotlight on church planting and on gospel work in tough areas. Maybe another spotlight on the great work happening in needy areas would be timely.

Dear Sir,

I'm writing in response to Paul Hinton's letter about church planting in our council estates and urban areas (Sick Church Plants, December en). I agree that there is a big need in these areas and encouraging people to plant in our most needy contexts is challenging.
